I don't usually agree with "artistic", but and :angry:
maybe be on to something. Just imagine if you will, a world war 3 book with G.I. Joes as your main characters, but I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm a big G.I. Joe fan, (mostly just a snake-eyes fan) and as one I can tell you that the current book it pretty bad in terms of story, but it is pretty to look at. In addition to this fact I constently wonder why cann't a great comic or cartoon ever make a worth wild conversion from one media into another. With these facts I can tell you Metal Gear will be a horrible comic just as punisher was a horrible game. In either case what makes them so bad is the lack of respect the creater has for the idea or the character. For example the people behind G.I. Joe, they will remain nameless, when they think G.I. Joe they think kiddy cartoon. Which will remain the case till someone comes along and gives them more credit.
